#2 I remind that you killed Mughniya outside the battle field

Of course, Nasrallah's idea of an open battlefield is when he sets up his rocket launchers next to an apartment building, launches the rockets toward Israeli civilians and then cries foul when Hisbullah gun molls and their kids are killed by the Israeli counter battery.

#3 He said, "This time, there will not be one Imad Mughniya awaiting you, or thousands of fighters, because Mughniya has almost completed his mission and prepared dozens of well-trained fighters who will fight you, willing to die as martyrs."

there will not be thousands of fighters, but dozens? something lost in translation?

#6 Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah promised to wage an open war against Israel

So then no one will object when Israel kills him.

"This time, there will not be one Imad Mughniya awaiting you, or thousands of fighters, because Mughniya has almost completed his mission and prepared dozens of well-trained fighters who will fight you, willing to die as martyrs."

regarding the problem with the word 'dozens'

the word àÆìÆó in the bible is usually translated 'thousand' but could also be translated as 'detachment or subtribe' since it comes from the same root as the first word of àÇìÌåÌó úÌÅéîÈï (Aloof Tamon)where the word 'aloof' is a chieftan (who rules over a detachment or subtribe)

I think arabic has a similar problem.

#9 darn - that came out wrong

elef = thousand (or detachment)
aloof = chieftan (of a detachment)

#10 This from a guy who hid himself in the deepest, darkest, hole he could find during the 2006 conflict and didn't show his ugly mug until long after it was all over (and he had a chance to wash his shorts...)

#13 #5 Somebody launder his shorts, please.

CrazyFool I don't think Nasrallah did.. It's Like mojo said, "Somebody launder his shorts, please."...

Because Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah considers it to be "thrifty" and "manly" [his bio sed both] to wear the same ole, same ole shorts no matter how crusty they get for one year per pair..

/shiite!
